Manchester United have told striker Radamel Falcao that his time at Old Trafford is over. Manchester United have opted not to take up a £43.2m option to buy the striker after he scored just 4 goals in his 28 appearances. The 29-year old seemed to wave goodbye to the crowd at Old Trafford at United’s last home game of the season against Arsenal – believing that he would be better next season if he was given a full pre-season to work on his fitness. The South American failed to impress the club’s coaching staff and ended his stint at Old Trafford without a goal in his final 13 games, his last effort coming against Leicster on 31st January. Having his say on the striker’s future, United manager Louis Van Gaal told the club’s official website, “Falcao is a top professional and a good human being. On behalf of myself and everyone at the club I would like to wish him well for the future.” The departure of the former Porto and Atletico Madrid hit-man will leave the number 9 shirt vacant for Robert Lewandowski and Edinson Cavani who are the two big names that have been linked to fill the striker’s spot. 

The Manchester United striker, Radamel Falcao leaves Manchester United after a
rough season. The player just scored only 4 goals in 28 appearance. Read on...

<strong><em>Manchester United</em></strong>

<strong>Brief History</strong>

Manchester United is regarded as one of the oldest football clubs in the Premier League. The team was formed in 1878, but under the name?Newton Heath LYR Football Club. It was only in 1902 that it was officially named Manchester United.

The Red Devils are arguably the most successful team in the Premier League. This was even back when the League was known as the Football League.

From 1945 onward, after the second World War, it was also the beginning of one of the greatest eras of Manchester United. In other words, it was the era of the 'Busby Babes'. However, in 1958, the rampant Busby Babes were halted in their tracks, by the Munich Air disaster, which claimed the lives of eight players. However, Matt Busby managed to rebuild the team once again.

Then, from 1986 to 2013, the next great Manchester United era began. Namely, the Sir Alex Ferguson era, where the Red Devils were dominant. Although they had a sluggish start, they came into their own in the 1990s.

Currently, after going through a few managers like David Moyes, Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho. Finally, the team has settled with United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

<h3>Robert Lewandowski 2022: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h3>
The goal-scoring prowess of Robert Lewandowski continues to grow even at the age of 33. Lewandowski captains the Polish national side while plying his trade with Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga. The archetypal striker to many fans, Lewandowski is right up there with the best. Moreover, he possesses incredible finishing skills while his off-the-ball movement is immaculate. He is easily one of the best strikers of the current generation.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-83464 size-full" src="https://www.staging.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Lewandowski1.jpg" alt="Robert Lewandowski" width="1000" height="600" />
<h3>Early Life</h3>
Lew was born to father Krzysztof Lewandowski and mother Iwona Lewandowski on 21 August 1988. His parents were a traditional Catholic household and there was significant interest in sports within the family. His father noticed his skills and took him to a training session of a local club, Partyzant Leszno. He was nine when he started his career as a soccer player.

[caption id="attachment_80264" align="aligncenter" width="1981"]<img class="wp-image-80264 size-full" src="https://www.staging.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/2015-10-01T084839Z_1_LYNXNPEB901Q5_RTROPTP_4_SOCCER-GERMANY.jpg" alt="Robert Lewandowski" width="1981" height="1443" /> Robert Lewandowski of FC Bayern Munich celebrates his goal against FSV Mainz 05 during their German first division Bundesliga soccer match in Mainz, Germany, September 26, 2015. REUTERS/Kai Pfaffenbach[/caption]

He signed up for the Varsovia Warsaw youth system and went to play for Delta Warsaw. The striker put in bright performances, which earned a place with Legia Warsaw. But things did not go according to plan as injuries hampered his progress and he ended up playing for Znicz Pruszk?w.
<h3>Robert Lewandowski's career</h3>
His professional career started at Znicz Pruszk?w, which turned out to be an instant success. During the 2006/07 season, he won the third division league title with the club. He scored the most goals in that season; likewise, led the scoring charts for the next season in the second division.

This prompted Lech Poznan to sign him as he continued his form throughout the season and ranked second for most goals scored in the league. The second season saw him rank first as Borussia Dortmund came calling for the forward in 2010.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-82133 size-full" src="https://www.staging.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Robert-Lewandowski.jpg" alt="" width="2048" height="1536" />

Dortmund bought him for ?4.5 million. With Jurgen Klopp's incredible coaching, he, along with a team of talented players, won two consecutive Bundesliga titles. Lewa scored 22 goals in his second season none of which came from the penalty spot.

The player was awarded the Polish player of the year. Moreover, Dortmund reached the Champions League final in the 2012/2013 season. His four goals against Real Madrid are still etched in every soccer fan's memory. He became the first player to score four goals in a Champions League semi-final. The 2013-14 season saw him finish as the league's top scorer with 20 goals.

After a successful stint with Dortmund, he moved to rivals Bayern Munich for a free transfer.

Significantly, his time with Bayern Munich has cemented his legacy as one of the greatest forwards of all time. He won seven German Division titles with Bayern Munich. He won the top goalscorer award five times with Bayern Munich and broke Gerd M?ller's most goals in a season, surpassing 40 goals set by him back in the 1971-72 season by scoring 41 goals. In a game against Wolfsburg in 2015, he <a href="https://sportytell.com/biography/robert-lewandowski-biography-facts-childhood-net-worth-life/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">scored</a> 5 goals in 8 minutes and 59 seconds, which became the fastest time for a player to score five goals in any major soccer league in Europe.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-89334 size-full" src="https://www.staging.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/Lewandowski.jpg" alt="Lewandowski Poland" width="1000" height="600" />

The Polish forward is the second-highest goal scorer in the club's history. The 2019-20 season saw him winning a treble with the club as he lifted his first UEFA Champions League. His 280 goals make him the Bundesliga's second-most goal scorer.
<h3>International Career</h3>
Ever since 2008, he has been a mainstay with the Polish National Team. Earning 120 caps with the team, Lewandowski has scored 72 international goals and is the all-time leading scorer of Poland. He won the European Golden Shoe for the 2020-21 season. Being a nine-time Polish Footballer of the Year and having won the Polish Sports Personality of the Year twice; Lewa is the best player in the country's history.
<h3>Robert Lewandowski net worth &amp; endorsements</h3>
The Polish forward has a net worth of $85 million. He earns a weekly <a href="https://salarysport.com/football/bundesliga/fc-bayern-m%C3%BCnchen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wage</a> of ?352,000. Apart from that, there are many endorsement deals like Nike, Huawei, Opel, EA Sports, CoverGirl, and Oshee which amount to $1 million.
